Seems to me that the government doesn't have a charter for this. What
about the Lily group or even PBS developing a program to propagate and
distribute such species, and working for a legal way to handle protected
species. This could start with rescue of threatened populations. It
would require someone to come up with a well-defined program, and an
adequate means of distribution. Could this be a more effective way to
go about the protection of endangered plants?
